Need some help.

Hi everyone.

Please I need some help.

Currently I have a dataset which contains the Headcount of the company by month.

I need to display the total of people that joined and left the company monthly and the total of headcount by month as well.

The problem is there are some people that joined the company as a contractor and then became permanent.

So here I have an example:

First as a contractor then as a permanent.

Row Data

In order to display the count of people that joined and left the company monthly I need to figure out how to ignore the last date (04/06/2022) and consider the first date (04/06/2021)

Another thing, I also need to take into account that in this particular case they didn’t leave the company so I also can’t count this in leavers.

On the other hand, the are some people that have actually left so I will need to consider the newer date and discard the oldest.

And finally, I don’t know how to sum the total of the previous month with the current month to have the total of headcount.

hello Diana_Jardim100 i think a summarized table could help
summary of table = summarize(table,[ID_EMPREGAD], "First Start Date",calculate(firstdate(dat_ini_act_emp)FILTER(table,dat_ini_act_emp = max(dat_ini_act_emp)),"Last day",calculate(lastdate(dat_said_one_hr),FILTER(table,dat_said_one_hr = max(dat_said_one_hr))

First Many thanks.

I'm almost there 🙂

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it has return this message.

The True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table filter expression must refer to exactly one column.

Summary = SUMMARIZE(TotalActivosSaidas,TotalActivosSaidas[ID_EMPREGAD], "First Start Date", CALCULATE(FIRSTDATE(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP]),FILTER(TotalActivosSaidas,TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP] = MAX(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP])), "Last day", CALCULATE(LASTDATE(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID]),FILTER(TotalActivosSaidas,TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID] =max(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID])))))

Ok please try

Summary = SUMMARIZE(TotalActivosSaidas,TotalActivosSaidas[ID_EMPREGAD], "First Start Date", CALCULATE(FIRSTDATE(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP]),TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP] = MAX(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_INI_ACT_EMP]), "Last day", CALCULATE(LASTDATE(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID]),TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID] =max(TotalActivosSaidas[DAT_SAID]))))

is this the result you desire?

Summary = SUMMARIZE(ALL(Diana),Diana[ID_EMPLOYEE],"Start Date",CALCULATE(MIN(Diana[INITIAL_DATE])),"End Date",CALCULATE(MAX(Diana[END_DATE])))
